Wednesday Night Improv’s monthly show continues in 2026 with a triple bill packed with quick wit, bold characters, and stories made up on the spot.

Join us for a midweek comedy boost featuring three of Bristol's sharpest improv acts - each one creating a brand-new show right before your eyes, all inspired by audience suggestions.

[1] JAZZ POLICE
American-style longform improv comedy troupe from Bristol. Explore the world of improv through a hilarious compilation of scenes and bits as these masters of wit take one word and turn it into a show. Jazz Police have performed at multiple comedy festivals including the Edinburgh International Improv Festival and the Birmingham Comedy Festival.

"Damn near perfect improv" – The Glasgow Improv Theatre

[2] THE GROUNDHOGS
The Groundhogs are an improv-sketch group that will take a recent conversation you had with a loved one and show you every single way it could have gone. Hilarious, unpredictable, often cartoonish, and occasionally poignant, The Groundhogs are staples of the Bristol Improv scene for a reason.

[3] PRESSURE COOKER: THE IMPROVISED RESTAURANT SHOW
Pressure Cooker whisks you into a fictional restaurant where a dynamic ensemble brings the chefs, customers, and kitchen chaos to life. Using your stories as ingredients, our performers cook up hilarious, unpredictable scenes on the spot. From meltdowns to menu mayhem, it's comedy served hot and fast.
